Sometimes, people on Facebook don't know the Fediverse exists.

@hpod16 Being locked into a Server is why I do not post often, I don't see what people in Europe really think. But on X I do. It is a true hodge podge of posts from around the globe. I try to stick to Warcraft, animal and science stuff. Very little of that here. On Mastodon they just post Hate Trump Hate America. Why would I want to see that all day.
@MissWarcraft @hpod16 You have to put some effort into customizing your timeline (follow #'s, find people you like to follow...). This takes some time, while x gives you all imaginable content from the start, but I prefer tweaking my timeline myself. I think its special, that the timeline is in real time here, so if you want to see more European content, you have to follow European user's and hashtags first, but you also have to consider day and night times in Europe.

@hpod16 The state of things. X has 650 Million Active users and Mastodon has 2.5 million. There is a reason. #Musk #Mastodon #SocialMedia
@MissWarcraft Where is this data from?
https://fedidb.com shows a bit over 1 million active accounts across all of the fediverse.

@MissWarcraft Ah, okay, it's referencing old data from https://mastodon-analytics.com/.
Thank you!

@darkoneko the social media manager in question may have read over that part….

The European Commission likes to tell them. @hpod16 was the fediverse created in europe? it's insane to say this when the technology itself is being mantained and expanded by people all around the world, including americans, asians, south americans, africans, etc.

@lucien
I know, I know...
When I first started (a week ago), I struggled with understanding the federated nature.
But I just put out a post to ask questions, and people explained things to me, and I was amazed with the awesome community out here! -
But is UX better there now?
I can only speak for Bluesky and on mobile it's horrible.

The European Commission likes to tell them. @hpod16 BTW, a “citizen-only” network developed and controlled by a state actor sounds pretty dystopian to me. Yet people are actively advocating for it …

@moftasa
Yeah, what the Commission answered here isn't quite what they asked.
But with a generous reading, still an opportunity to promote the Fediverse.I read it like the person who asked wanted a silo while the EU Commission social media people answered with the actually open alternative. Like even if there were Fedi servers that allow only people verified to be EU citizens (or residents), one could still interact with all the world across servers.
